Description

Substantial literary archive from the French Nobel laureate

French writer (1866–1944) who won the 1915 Nobel Prize for Literature. Archive of material sent by Rolland to the publisher Albert Kundig in Geneva, comprised of 12 ALSs, a handwritten list, five signatures clipped from return address areas of envelope panels, and a subscription application filled out by Rolland with his address to receive Le Sang des Autres by René Arcos and Frans Masereel. Letters are untranslated and in French, nine on postcards, dated between 1922 and 1930, most concerning the artistic and literary worlds: four concern a print edition of a La Révolte des machines featuring woodcuts by Masreel, and others mentioning correcting proofs of Jeu de l'Amour et de la Mort and Goethe et Beethoven. The handwritten list provides character names for La Révolte des machines. In overall fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
